The History of the United States...the way it shoulda been?

I have been browsing DU today looking for a thread on this. Hasn't been posted yet.

The left is just another step closer to the fringe.

I guess they think our children are too stupid to learn from mistakes made in history. So which group is offended by the words "swamp" and "jungle"?

[microgood]

I believe alot of this will die with the 60s generation. Since they totally ignored all history and believe the earth was essentially created the day they were born, future generations will not take them or their beliefs seriously.

I wonder if old "Suzie" would like to take a walk down memory lane in my old neighborhood (Newark NJ) and maybe come up with some new names for "Ghetto" and "Slum". When I was in high school I read that a rose by any other name is
still a rose. And so is a hot dog, an indian, senior citizen, swamp, jungle, crap, and FOOL. Get my drift Suzie old girly. What BULLS**T!!!!!!!!!!

Sending your children to government schools borders on child abuse in some states.

As a blue-eyed blonde, perhaps I should be offended by the huge granite carving of Crazy Horse, the great American Indian.........ooops! Native American Chief that is being carved 20 miles down the road from me! Enough of this P.C. nonsense!

Maybe they should concentrate on finding and fixing the many and varied errors and omissions in these textbooks. Guess they're too busy censoring them.

Maybe it's time to boycott California.

Here is a good start on the subject:

I've heard the author, a seemingly no-nonsense educator, interviewed on
The Laura Ingraham Show, The Dennis Prager Show and The Savage Nation.

The author got a belly-laugh out of Dennis Prager (a conservative Jewish commentator
for my old friends in flyover country) when she said that Jews could not be portrayed
as doctors.
